Dear Friend of Annex Arts,

This past summer, as an experiment, we packed the Water Street studios and apartments with visiting artists all summer long. The results were magnificent, and the effects wide ranging. We felt the impact on the artists and our community immediately, and we want to make this our approach going forward.

To facilitate the increase in artists-in-residence for the entire summer, we changed over apartments into improvised studio spaces and changed the way we housed the artists.

We are asking you to help us improve our infrastructure for next year, allowing us to support more artists at a time, create larger creative community, and more opportunity for public engagement.

We are at an inflection point in our development and we are ready to grow! We invite you to join us as we improve our facilities to better meet our work of maintaining free and supported space for artists to visit and work within our community.

Please consider helping us. Your donations are the foundation of all we do to meet our mission of supporting artists and building community.
